Unhappy Memory cannot be read, tried everything

I've spent alot a time trying to get this mod to work. I have all the required games and tools, installed/reinstalled sf about 10 times, got the crashfix, language is set to english, accessing the steam community is off during games, checked the integrity of the required games' files, and I'm about to give up on it. I have not played the game before, and it locks up and crashes with the memory cannot be read error right after the valve logo loads. The only thing I can think that might be wrong is when extracting the files, some of them want to be renamed or replaced and I don't know which one to choose. I did all I could on my own, any suggestions?

Updating your drivers comes to mind. (Graphics etc.) A lot of people instantly blame the mod for not working, also for the love of God. Use the search function and browse other threads before creating new ones.

Try using the installer located at http://mirror.player.to/sourceforts/sourceforts193.exe

It'll remove all old files and provide a clean setup.

Thanks black. I thought the long list of things I did to fix the problem would be enough of a giveaway that I actually DID search the forums. And my drivers are updated, guess I left that out.

It works fine just from using this installer, how annoyingly simple. Thanks guys.

You should replace all files when prompted. Can you run HL2: Deathmatch without this problem? If DM is OK, then you should re-download, nuke your sourceforts folder, and reinstall (re-apply patch fix if your CPU is an older AMD). If DM won't run, problem is likely to be related to drivers (usually audio or video) or OS (ensure that Windows has the latest Service Pack applied, and the DirectX is latest version).

If none of this works, please post a run-down of the system (or as much as you know): computer model (or motherboard), CPU, memory, graphics, audio, any overclocked settings, windows version, and the full path to the SourceForts gameinfo.txt file. The Valve article mentioned in the FAQ may also have some things to try, but I think you've covered the basics.

Glad you got things sorted. I certainly hope we get an "official" InstallShield for 1.9.4

Why InstallShield? I'll be using NSIS to script the installer, it has many advantages over InstallShield (especially considering InstallShield is proprietary software).

Could never get over the (nullsoft == AOL) issue. It's sickening to think of the great products that were perfectly matched to AOL's ideal business strategy, circa 1999. They stuck with the boated kindergarten client + IE4 and squandered every penny they spent buying netscape, nullsoft and everything else. They consciously chose to be the "short bus with training wheels" of the Internet and to sue the online music market out of existence instead of cashing in. Can you tell I got fucked when the stock tanked?

Open Source is nice, particularly when there are security concerns or when you need to customize the code; not sure there's a really strong case against IS, but I'll have to have a look... Thanks for the tip.

£3,069.00 isn't really in our budget.
